A fan cinematic tribute: Old Snake's final moments inside Outer Haven, set to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird."

Built as a pure emotional exercise — no lipsync, no dialogue — just cinematography, character animation, and music working together to capture the melancholic weight of Metal Gear Solid 4's ending. The VCAM workflow in UE5 allowed real-time camera blocking and shot composition directly inside the engine.
